Antwerp the city of diamonds has produced another little gem in the salon de the (tea) Claude, hidden away in the Scheldestraat, about 10 mins out of the centre on your way to the Museum van Schone Kunsten. This small, cosy and well decorated tea establishment is grand in every way, from the friendly and courteous welcome to the great tea service and the delicious macaroons. With the tea you get a little plate of heaven with 3 different Belgian (of course) chocolates and some old fashioned bread pudding with a hint of vanilla. The fact that the host and all the team for that matter are a pretty sight explains that many Ladies found their way to the salon on my visit. But who cares, a thing of beauty is there to be adored and enjoyed I say. Although it was a short visit this time, afternoon tea looms at my next visit to the Stad with anticipation to undergo the dilemma of having to choose a pastry from the silver platter. http://www.salondetheclaude.be/
